'The People behind the Quantum'

'This is the book about the early days of quantum theory,' writes Professor Chris Clarke in a review for the Scientific and Medical Network.

'It is an engrossing read because as each character enters the scene they are introduced with a careful biographical sketch, so that we can identify with them and share their personal grappling with the ideas as they unfold.'

He concludes that 'the book is unequalled as an exposition of the personalities and ideas on which quantum theory is founded'.

The concept that "acausal connections" exist in the space-timecontinuum, was advanced by Professor W. Pauli, Nobel laureate-physics, (1945)....

Based on details forwarded to the research group PEAR, PrincetonUniversity, a first scientific verification of this principle has beenobtained. Basically this means that an aspect of "mind" doestranscend space and time, i.e., precognition.

One of the main conclusions is an expected supernova explosionin Ursa Minor. The star is Kochab, an orange giant, some 120plus light years distant. Timeline, year or less....

NASA comments:

A supernova has to be within 10 parsecs (30 light years) or so to be dangerous to life on Earth. This is because the atmosphere shields us from most dangerous radiations. Astronauts in orbit may be in danger if a supernova is within 1000 parsecs or so.

I have degrees in physics and philosophy. I co-wrote Science and the Retreat from Reason, which introduced key areas of modern science while defending notions of social progress and scientific advance.

Published in 1995, it was critically acclaimed as a ‘corrective to the hype’, ‘thought-provoking’, and ‘undoubtedly one of the best introductions one can find to the crisis of confidence within science itself’.
